Situated within the Watervale Hotel in Clare Valley, Penobscot Restaurant offers an immersive expression of its farm-to-plate philosophy, placing provenance and seasonality at the heart of the experience. Instead of a dining room, this restaurant is centered around a 10-seat chef’s counter situated in the heart of the kitchen. It's far from a hushed fine-dining experience, instead offering the feel of a hands-on masterclass. The menu shifts daily, dependent on that day's harvest from nearby Penobscot Farm (for a deeper understanding of their dedication, tour the farm before or after the meal). Thoughtful pairings extend beyond local wines to include house-made mocktails from farm fruits and herbs, as well as regional gins.
